Hundreds of journalists marched Sunday in Mexico's capital to protest the killing of a photojournalist who was found dead from gunshot wounds along with four women.

They carried signs criticizing violence against journalists, calling for justice and an end to impunity, along with pictures of Ruben Espinosa, who fled to Mexico City several weeks ago after being harassed outside his home in Veracruz.

During Duarte's term , there had been 13 journalists murdered in Veracruz, with this one 14, although he was actually living in México City at the time of his murder, the last one before Espinoza was a woman, and Espinoza was quoted saying that someone had told him that if he did not want to end up like the woman journalist, he'd better hush. But how can they hush when their work is to investigate. Many journalists have saddly lost their lives while following their call..
